NEXT SkTURDAY the school election
for sixteen members OF the Board OF
0l take place, and during
The essnt vi PIX there will in all the
kfd5 be moro " less OF concentra-
ton o, public Cpl t!on and of voters in
favor of this OF that candidate. The
peop!s are very wisely left with the
discretion of electing whom they please
to tho Board of Education, 50 that he
be qualified legally for the position.
Legal qual!h cations pertain only to
residence in the ward and the posses
slou Of the required amount of real
estate. But there are other qualifications
needed in candidates ttai voters should
lock closely after. Moral and intellec.
tuAl qualifications are paramount to all
others, and the voters should see to II
that none but persons possessing these
qualifications are elected. The best
candidates are not always those who
push themselves upon the attention Of
the voters OF the wsrdE. The Off eel is toe
often made step stone to some higher
office by politicians who care nothing
about the public schools nor the csus,
Of education. II such persons offer o
candidates they should be turned dow
by an avalanche of votes. 1t is no
necessary either that this candidat
should be q Democrat because he is Il
. Democratic ward, or that that candI
date should be Republican because b
is In Q Republican ward. The Board {
Education Is no place for display {
pArtisanship. Good, competent, consc
eutious members are what are wantet
and they can be found in all parties.

Concerning Cloth in g.

prevailing Clothing Babel,
amid the scattering OF ink
and the babbling of types
we have a word to say.
We keep steadily at our
ideal of gathering many sorts
OF merchandise for the public
service, but prominent al
ways is our original clothing
idea. At times we may have
fallen somewhat off in our
management of Clothing.
But the grip is tight now.
The goods are right, never
before so right. They are
made-with rare exceptions
right here. The stufs and

Tho JEFF Davis Letter.


The issue between Colonel Howard and Mr.
Davis is of fact, and in this, too, the former
starts in with clear advantage. Colonel How
ard says he got the letter in question from AIR.
Davis last week, and that it was written by that
onceillustrious man from Beauvoir Miss, on
June 20 To every one favored with Colonel
Towards acquantance-and what benighted
wight is not?-his word will be conclusive of the
controversy. Mr.. Davis may disclaim the letter
until the Mississippi runs uphill; the eternal
hills themselves shall fall before Colonel How
ards friends will believe he did not get letter
when he says he did. Then, too, loyal hearts
will remember that Mr.. Davis is not person to
be believed even under oath. He swore allie
glance TO the United States, broke his oath, and
has never sought absolution for the sin. There
are, besides, internal evidences in the letter
received by Colonel Howard that Mr.. Davis wrote
it. Who but Jefferson Davis, writing over that
signature, would have the cool effrontery to de-
clare Il did all in my power to prevent the late
war; No petty forger of Mr.. Davis's and
writing would have dared such flight of men
dacity in the face Of the record.
